Come join Bonnie Barker as she teaches you how to crochet an Easy Beginner's Shell Baby Blanket!

You will also need 5 skeins of Red Heart's Stripes yarn (or 1,180 yards of other worsted weight yarn), an I size (or 9/5.50 mm) crochet hook and a yarn needle. To expand this blanket, simply add multiples of the number 6 to the current starting chain.

Gorgeous blanket! I’m a 65 years young crochet “newbie” and you have me very enthused! You are a great 👩🏫 teacher. 👍🏻 I love hearing the sparrows tweet at the beginning of the video. You and I have something in common: we love pretty nails 💅🏼 . I get new nail art and colours every fortnight! I also have bright purple hair at the moment... not your usual grandma you could say!
Guess I have better jump onto Amazon and get me some of that lovely yarn 🧶 to start this blanket. Best wishes from New Zealand 🇳🇿 🌹❣️
Love it Fran S! I'm sure you're an AMAZING grandma! You may be able to find some nice variegated yarn in New Zealand or from Australia next door a lot cheaper. Wishing you all the very best!
BonnieBayCrochet I do, but Red Heart seems to have better varigated yarns than I can find here. We work mainly in wool here too, merino or merino/possum mix being favourites for warmth and softness.
@@frans3474 I hope you can find what you need. Having traveled a bit this year, I realize that the yarn in different countries can vary a lot!
Thank you so much for this step by step tutorial, Bonnie. I made this, my first blanket, for our first baby granddaughter. I entered it in the local country fair and it won the blue ribbon!
That is so wonderful Janet! Congratulations on both your precious granddaughter and the blue ribbon!! I would love to see!
My wife has made 4 of these with different yarns and they are all amazing! Thank you so much for this tutorial. :)
The pleasure is all mine Tim! So glad this worked out!
You are my favorite crochet teacher on all of utube. You are the best. You make all your tutorials easy & very clear. Thank you so much for teaching me different baby blankets
You are a good instructor. I'm really a quilter but started crocheting and
Knitting a few years ago. I'm addicted. Your lesson was so easy to understand I'm going to try this next! Thank you . ♥️
@@charlieTexasgirl Thank you!

I've been crocheting for a few months and have so far only managed the granny square blankets and then I ventured into giving them the shell border. I love the idea of an entire blanket using the shell stitch. I'm off to the wool shop next week for some variegated yarn. Can't wait to get started. Thank you for a fantastic tutorial, I didn't have to pause it once or rewind as it was explained so clearly and precisely.
Northern Soul thank you for your sweet encouragement! This mom never gets tired of this!
Just want to thank Yiu for this tutorial. You are always so calm, and unhurried...
I was looking for a half shell blanket and now my mind is about to change.
Started my baby blanket for a gift, thank you for your tutorial you make it so easy to follow!
Hi Bonnie
I’ve been busy.....have just finished a cot blanket for my granddaughter in shades of pink, salmon, mauve & white.
Increased the hook size to 5.5 and did 131 chain, resulting in a finished size of 90 x 120, so thrilled with the result, love this pattern and so easy to do
Thank you Bonnie for helping us beginners! 💗
This has become my go to blanket over the past year. I love the way the colors work up. It is an easy and fast pattern to bring crowd pleasing comments at baby showers. Thanks so much for the tutorial!
🦉 In Muliples of 5 + 4 stitches Thank you Bonnie for that information. 👍🏻❤🧡💛💖
I’m totally getting it. I taught elementary school for 34 years. You are a great teacher ❣️😊. Please keep sharing. I have been watching a few others. They need to be sure we can get a good view. Discuss as you do helps. Going slower.helps. 😊 When turning I tend to need a little more understanding. 😍. Thanks!
Thank you ! My mother in law showed me this stitch years ago, she made countless baby blankets and Afghans using this stitch, she was a mother of 12!, I married her youngest son David 28 years ago, she sadly passed away last year and she suffered from dementia for years, so I couldnt ask her to show me again 😥 I've made many many blankets, using sc, dc and tc stitches over the years, but I've always wanted to make a few Afghans for my children and grandchildren using this beautiful shell pattern! Thanks to you and you easy to follow tutorial! I'm ready! I ordered a bunch of red heart multi color yarn! I'm excited to get started! I'm practicing tonight on leftover yellow yarn, my afghans will be done in a multi skein of browns cream and tans ( cafe latte) 😊
I love this and I love the calm way you described this. Thank you so much for sharing your talent!!!
If you want to make a blanket bigger than a baby blanket how many chains
I have a hard time learning because of dyslexia but I love the beauty of crochet and could actually follow your tutorial! I'm so excited because I'm going to be a first time grandmother and this is what I'll give that precious baby! Thank you.
I'm so glad you could follow along Eve, and a big congratulations to you for that grand baby!

Hi Bonnie, I just finished making my second baby blanket using this pattern. A friend of mine will be a grandmother soon and I made this for her grandson. I used Caron Baby Cakes by Yarnspirations in the color Dreamy Sky. I am going to email you a picture of it. Thank you so much! Liz B (from Corning, NN)
I had tried to follow the printed instructions for a shell baby blanket, and it was so crooked. I gave it to my niece anyway, figuring it would keep the baby warm, but she never used it. I followed your instructions here, and now have crocheted my second baby blanket with absolutely straight edges. Thank you so much for your clear instructions. May the Lord bless you!
Thank you for the easy to follow pattern. Love your channel. You're my go to for crochet. So easy to follow. Thank you!

This is actuslly my favorite stitch/pattern... I’m currently working on two preemie blankets, using DK weight yarn.
One is being done in Lion Brand’s Baby Soft... Circus Print, and the other is in Lion Brand’s Ice Cream...Blueberry. They both look wonderful.
This multiple of 6 plus 1 is a much easier pattern than the multiple of 6 plus 2... All you have to do is to keep repeating row 2..
I have never crocheted before, but am going to try now after watching your fabulous tutorial, thank you x
I planned to make a baby's blanket. Saw your video. I never crocheted fancy stitches before..just your basic single and double crochet.... but your video inspired me. I fell in love with this scallop design. You showed every stitch in detail and I love this pattern. Easy crocheting and very relaxing.. Thank you so much......
Love all of you tutorials!!! I also adore the gray shawl in the background ...at the beginning if this tutorial!!!
Thank you Brenda! The free tutorials for the Celtic Diamond Wrap begin here: th-cam.com/play/PLoIugZBYOS0VRSGyKX_JCN-zaiKcMKW7F.html
I'm a beginner but this looks manageable. This is going to be my next project :) best wishes from Scotland :)
This is the first blanket I learned to crochet, then told mom I was going to do all single crochet (boy did that blanket take a long time to make) I started it for me by the time I got it long enough for a single bed - my daughter claimed it for her bed so I did not get to use it, she had it long time. It's a great blanket for baby, a single, or a full size blaket I don't know the stitch multiple so I make chain long enough to go across bed then start crocheting if too many I just take chains out or cut chain but leave some for end
Two years ago I made a blankie with stripes yarn. I loved working on it BC it was for my great grandson.
I love this pattern and the colors are a beautiful bonus! Thanks a bunch for sharing!
Your instructions are so easy to follow. Thanks!
As always beautiful! I really enjoy watching your tutorials! Thank you so much for sharing!!!! This is a definite make for me!
Thanx so much for sharing. ❤
Bonnie for many years I have tried to understand this stitch and for the first time I got it and understood the stitching and the pattern. Thank you so much for teaching this.
My pleasure Meme! Many blessings to you!
Bonnie... I believe this pattern to be a multiple of 6+1...instead of the usual 6+2... I love it, because you end up simply repeating Row 2... The multiple of 6+2 has you repeating rows 2 & 3., and you are required to : crochet three dc’s...either at the beginning or at the end of the row (I forgot which). Call me stupid, but thus always confuses me, and that takes the pleasure out of the project.
Thank you for teaching the easiest way to crochet acShell Stitch Blanket... I know that when I discovered this way, I was so happy...
I’ve seen a few shell stitch tutorials and yours is the best one. Just started today on blanket :)
There is an additional video for shell border should you need that. Link in video description below.
Thank you for an easy to follow tutorial
I’m using this to make a shawl for a Christmas gift. It is so quick and so pretty. Thank you.
I needed to refresh my memory since I made this a couple of years ago. So thank you so much. So much easier to watch then follow it in writing. It's so easy as I remember it. Coming out lovely
That's great Harriet! Wishing you all the best!
This is a great video thank you so much. I started creating my own Stitch last night using the same thing only on the third row it became a big ruffle and I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong now I can go back and it'll be beautiful like yours
Did you write down your notes? I have been looking for a how to on a crochet ruffle. I would love to see how you did it.
@@thehappyplanningmom4141 8
I love this pattern! If I would like to make this 45" wide, how many chains should I make?
Count number from single crochet to single crochet ant add enough of these repeat stitches to 45 inch
I’m new relearning how to crochet. I’ve made 5 scarves so far. This looks fun and easy! I’m going to try it!! 😊
How many shells are in the first row?
You would add in multiple of 6
Get a tape measure and measure to 45", then count your stitches.
Thank you Bonnie for your tutorial! I have made this baby blanket several times and I really enjoy this pattern. If I start crocheting at night when I'm watching TV, it's so easy that the next thing I know is I have crocheted myself to sleep. LOL. Thank you for sharing your talent. Such an easy pattern. God bless you!
My pleasure! So glad you like this one!😊
I just finished this exact blanket for a gift. It turned out so beautiful! I am a beginner and it was eady and relaxing! Thank you Bonnie!!
So glad to hear that Anita!😊❤️
Making this right now. The multiple of this is 5 plus 2 Hope this helps.
Toni Barby Thank you .
I Love this Blanket. Really enjoyed doing it. You throughly explained each step... Very Relaxing project.
Thankyou for your videos and I will return to learn more from you. Blessings❤
Thanks for your support MaryAnne!
@@BonnieBayCrochet your very welcome. Going to be making my 3rd of this one. Love it!
@@BonnieBayCrochet Bonnie, I Love this ine so much. Im sitting here going through this video AGAIN and I just chained my 109 stitches. I'm making it with the Ice Cream yarn , the Taffy Tire color. Thankyou again for making your instructions so followable,, lol
@@maryannedeering1663 so glad you are enjoying this one!😊❤️
You are the absolute best crochet teacher. I made this with the camo yarn and gave as a gift. It was an absolute hit. Thank you so much. Easiest pattern ever.
That sounds like a fun color way! Do you have a photo? I would love to see this. You can always send to bonniebay@me.com. If not, no problem!
BonnieBayCrochet I sent it to your email. My daughter wants one for her baby. Same color.
Thank you, just a wonderful video . I finished my project with no problems. I am so grateful!!
So glad to hear that Katherine!
I just subscribed! Hit the bell and gave this video a like! You are a good instructor, very easy to follow and your blanket came out beautiful, I love it. I've seen other TH-cam tutorials on this stitch and you explained it very well. 😊
Thank you for video you are making a beautiful really the video 👍🏼❤️
I really love your video 😘
Love your teaching. Beautiful job
MULTIPLES of 5 + 4. 109 chains. ( 21 full clusters and 1 half cluster at Each end . A total of 23 clusters .

My first blanket I ever made was a shell blanket, but I never had a pattern for it so sometimes I would forget what to do at the end and beginning of the rows. Thank you for giving such great instructions. I have already made a blanket and a hat for my new little great nephew who will be here soon.
Congratulations on the great nephew Tina!
@@BonnieBayCrochet Thank you! He is here and very precious.
Beautiful blanket and great video!💖💖💖💖
Is that Super Saver Stripes in the color-way "Retro", and what would be the multiple, in case I want to make the Afghan smaller or larger??
@@carlam.9529 …ok, Thank You…I'll try it that way!! 😁👍
in video she said mulitple of 5
Marta French I had the same question and after trolling the comments below, I believe it’s 5 plus 4. I also saw a few that said in multiples of 6. But 5 plus 4 sounds about right.
@@carlam.9529 She didn't say multiples of 5; you're right. She said she counted her chain in 5's in case she was interrupted :) I'd like to know the multiples as well so I can make a larger blanket :)
She said 6. She replied to a nothing crochet crafter below.
Hi Bonnie. This blanket is so pretty but also so simplistic. Thank you.
Yes it is Cindy! That's why I decided to not add a border when I finished. I don't think it needs it, and without it is very approachable for the newest crocheters.
Bonnie, I was just on Facebook and read your post about your mother's death. I am so very sorry for your loss, Bonnie. You and your family will be in my thoughts.
Cindy Kinney thank you! Yes, the holidays were very different for us this year, but the Lord has been with us (and Mom) every step of the way.
I enjoyed your video. I am left-handed and I was able to learn how to do your pattern. I can now make a blanket for my great grand son.
I do have left-handed versions of my videos. Just do a quick search of the same video and add “left-handed” to the title.
I have a baby blanket to make and I think this is what I am doing. Thanks for showing this.
Thank you for your tutorial & sharing your talent. As you said looks complicated but you made it so easy to learn. I enjoyed watching you. It was clear and the camera angle was just right to see what you are doing . Not long conversation. All good , thank you. 🙏🏼🥰 God bless.
Thank you for your kindness Marzyeh!😊❤️
Fffffffffffffffffffffffffff
I like your shell stitch baby blanket tutorial. I'm going to give it a try. Thank you for sharing.
That's fantastic. your brilliant with this ,everything was slow, the way I prefer ,as I'm a learner at crochet . Thanks a million, your a definite inspiration. xx💞xx
Thank you Catherine!
Love this pattern. Still just working on wash cloths, but looking forward to doing something a with a "fancier" look. I have become addicted.
This is really pretty and not so complicated that a beginner can' attempt. Thanks!
I am half way through. Ran out of yarn so I set it aside until I get some more. I love your videos. Thank you 😊
Oh dear! I hope you can find the yarn you need Lisa!
Thanks for all your help with this blanket
Made this with a pound of love yarn and J (6mm) hook. Perfect size baby blanket. Thank you for the great pattern.
My pleasure JudyLou!
this was the very 1st blankent i made. .. you give great instructions and very easy to follow.
This is my go-to stitch for baby blankets. This is beautiful!
Hi, I would like to make a baby blanket. How many chains should I do to start?
Thank you Bonnie!! Beautiful blanket!! ❤
This is a beautiful blanket. I'm going to make it for my first great grandson & I'm really excited to do it. You are a very good teacher. My mom & grandma loved to crochet & they did some beautiful work. Thank you!!
Congratulations Karen!!
@@BonnieBayCrochet Thank you !
Crocheting again after many years of not doing any. I have been looking at many videos to try get visually prepared to begin a project. I want to tell you how much I appreciate your tutorials. You by far are the clearest instructor and easiest to follow I have found. You get right to the point and have your camera set up perfectly. I also appreciate you showing the finished product at the end. Thanks and keep up the good work,
I truly enjoyed your video.I like how you slowly take the time to show your craft. Thank you..♥️
Thank you Carol! 😊❤️
U r an awesome teacher. I've made 2 dishcloth by watching your vid n I'm gonna attempt a blanket soon. U just gained another subscriber
Welcome aboard Neisha! I have many other beginning videos and skill builders.
@@BonnieBayCrochet I will be watching. My crotchet is loose bcuz I have difficulty pulling the hook thru, so that I have to work on that
I like to do a row of single crochet first. (It just makes for a sturdy base row) In light of that: if doing it that way, I found that a stitch multiple of 6+5 works.
Beautiful pattern!! 😍
God Bless You And Your Family ✝️✝️✝️ Thank You For Bring To Us All Who View Your Videos The Beauty And Intricacies Of The Art Of Crochet
Praying For You And Your Family Gods Peace
Thank you Isa!😊❤️
I loved making this blanket. Thanks Bonnie
I’m just teaching myself to crochet and I love these tutorials 💜💜
schpookendike I’ve got another coming soon! So glad these are working for you!
Thank you so much. I'm starting one for my great granddaughter. Love this!!
Congratulations Miss Ziggy! You are a blessed lady!!
You are the best at teaching!! You are so fast but I can keep up because you are so clear! Thank you!!!
Thank you Tara! You can always adjust the speed of the video by clicking on the gear-shaped icon in the lower right corner of the video (3 vertical dots in upper right corner for cell phones), then selecting a slower playback speed. I hope this helps!
Thank you after watching many other vidios and not being able to do the stitch. I finally got it after watching you. Such a great teacher. Happy New year
Thank you Lorraine!
Thank you Bonnie. You are such a great instructor! 😻😻😻
Thanks for your sweet comment Sofia!😊
I was looking for a baby blanket pattern. I am a subscriber of yours so decided to take a look at your patterns, and I’m so glad I did! I normally don’t like the shell patterns for baby blankets, but I LOVE this pattern!! Your shells are so full and it’s a reversible pattern! I’ve decided on using this pattern, it’s beautiful, I just wish I had the self stripping yarn, I’m using a solid color. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with us! ♥️
Hi Fig Newton! If you alternate the yarn at the end of every row, this will be even more stunning! You may be able to carry the yarn to avoid all the loose strands. I of have a border for this in a separate video should you have need.
I am working on a baby blanket too. I am doing the drunk stitch. My grandma taught it to me and I have liked it ever since. Thanks for the idea for my next blanket. 😉👶
Leilonni Hamilton I’ll have to look up that stitch!
@@BonnieBayCrochet Sounds like an interesting stitch. Please Bonnie, a tutorial will be nice!
@@BonnieBayCrochet It is 3 double crochet a chain and another double crochet in the same stitch. When you go the other way you crochet in the space of the chain.
@@leilonnihamilton8356Not sure which section you are referring to. Is this the point where the pattern becomes continuous in round 2?
@@BonnieBayCrochet l am sorry, I was trying to tell you how to do the stitch my grandma showed me.
I love this patern
Love this so easy. I made a beautiful blanket for my newborn great grandson
Lori Wulf congratulations to you on your great grandson! You are a very blessed lady!❤️❤️❤️
Enjoy doing this stitch thank you
Wow. Thank you Bonnie. This is gorgeous
Hello Bonnie thank you so much for your wonderful tutorials you make it so easy to follow 😊 you are always my go to fir any project.
Thankyou for stating the actual yarn length needed rather than the weight
So many times I’ve needed to buy extra skeins so frustrating 😖
Beautiful blanket btw 😊
Your a good teacher easy to follow
I do love the way this yarn works up! I love your pattern and this yarn is perfect for it!
Thank you Bonnie. I am new at crocheting. I'm going to give this ago. My Grandaughter is expecting her fourth bubs end of September. It's a boy. So blue will be the colour.
Congratulations on that wonderful new baby on the way! You may want to try using two contrasting colors (or more) or perhaps 2-3 shades of blue? Will give this design more interest for the baby to study and add joy in the crocheting process! Just a suggestion! 😊❤️
Thank you..i am making my first grandchild a keepsake blanket..thank you for making this easy to follow as I am new to crocheting and an loving it!
Congratulations on your first grandchild Chi Chi!
Thank you😁
Thank you for all the great tutorials!
Awesome best video to make a shell blanket! 🥰🦦
Thank you Kathryn!

Thank you so much. I've been struggling with this but you made it easy. So perfectly explained and beautiful results. Greetings from UK 🇬🇧 😀
So glad to hear these words of encouragement Sookiedog!😊
Thank you very much for showing. Exactly what I was looking for and have started my shell pattern on my baby blanket.God bless.
This blanket is so gorgeous
Bonnie, just so your viewers know that your book, Cable Crochet Made Easy is a great book as you include the links to the videos to follow along. The links work ! This book is teaching me to read the patterns as I follow you crocheting.
Thank you for this amazing book! I can’t believe the price is so affordable!
God bless you!🙏🌷
Bertha Z thank you!
You are a GREAT teacher!
Thanks for taking the time to encourage me today Ann! Blessings right back at you!
Still need to see how you do the shell edging, which was not on this video.
Jan Evans I did explain why it is not necessary towards the end. The blanket if fine without one. To add one with this color changing yarn would have been too distracting to the existing color pattern. 😊
Do you have a video on trimming a solid one?
I love the Retro stripe yarn!
I just made a cancer throw and a blanket for my dog using this yarn😊
Yes, such a classic color combination. Sure do hope they don't phase out this color scheme.
@@BonnieBayCrochet me too! I love it 🐶
Thank you very much for your beautiful design and for your explain as well. I am begginer and moreover I knit with needles. But I'm going to be grandmother so decided to follow your design.
many greetings from Crete the most beautiful island in Greece💐🌹👌
